Apple Store Canton Road

This was the very first store to be designed by Foster + Partners. Located on a prime Hong Kong shopping street in an existing mid rise building. The design went through many iterations and became the starting points of a 50+ project relationship with Apple.

The site was very challenging and to achieve the aspirations of the design significant works focussed on the structural changes required to turn 3 levels into 2 and allow the facade to appear full height.

New elements of store design were also tested - including the new glass stair, the illuminated ceiling panels and the triple height frameless glazing. These then went onto to form the next generation of store design elements.
